… to Prof. Holly Dugan, whose recent book The Ephemeral History of Perfume: Scent and Sense in Early Modern England (Johns Hopkins University Press) received an appreciative and laudatory brief review in the current Times Literary Supplement (Feb. 17, “In Brief,” p. 26). The reviewer, Katharine Craik, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern Literature at Oxford Brookes University, concludes: “Together, Dugan’s six early modern scentscapes challenge the assumption that early modern England was simply smellier than our deodorized present.
